This is where self-doubt dies and confidence thrives!

I have no doubt that we can create some powerful results together and help you accomplish whatever goal you have set for yourself (but don't worry if you haven't figured out your goals yet, I can help you with that too)! Today is a great day to take confident action, so let's train the mental side of your sport!
So many ways - to name a few I can help you with:
- Motivation/Purpose

The best coach I ever had taught me to focus on the right things at the right time and also instilled confidence in me by giving me feedback on things I could improve, but most importantly things I was doing well. By building awareness of the things I was doing well, I was able to repeat those actions on a more consistent basis. This feedback style allowed me to grow exponentially over the course of 1 season. Thanks Coach Rich!
The mental skills that I coach are important now for sports, but are also life long skills. For example, if an athlete knows how to control nervous before a competition, they know how to control nerves before a test. If an athlete knows how to mentally lock in on the right things during sports, they know how to lock in on the right things in their future career.
The investment of working with me now will create an impact for the rest of their life.

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
